take a look at the feather m0 from Adafruit - I have a few deployed where wifi is quite a ways away, gathering data for me and sending to another one acting as a base station.
I haven't added solar, as these are inside, near power, but have some solar panels and hardware waiting for me to deploy out in the field (literally). so far, it's been my lack of good waterproof enclosures that has slowed me down. I wonder if there'd be a good opportunity for someone in that space.
- Kliment 9y agoPut it in one of those sealable jars with hinges - stuff a few packets of dessicant inside to stop condensation and you're done. If you need to pass through wires score a v-shape into the seal and make sure they get squeezed tight when you close the jar. Something like http://img4.foodservicewarehouse.com/Prd/1900SQ/AmericanMetalcraft_HMJ5.jpg http://img4.foodservicewarehouse.com/Prd/1900SQ/AmericanMeta... make sure to get some extra sealing rings if you do passthroughs as it's hard to get the scoring right.

- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoWhat opportunity do you see? There's a huge variety of different flavors of water-resistant enclosures on the market, from things that can only take light spray, to underwater-rated enclosures. Google IP-66 or NEMA4 enclosures. Also, I have at least one project that was housed in clear 3" PVC pipe since it had to go down a well. One of my favorite companies to work with in this area is Polycase.
